Very pretty guys

Will you be doing kits or just factory built ??

The plan is to mainly do homebuild kits and builder assist, but will also build ready to fly aircraft. As soon as we are happy with the prototype's flying qualities we'll start offering the different options.

Thanks for your reply Eddie, look forward to hearing more about the kits and prices.

Looking Good Eddie, the team is hard at work on this cub. Hopefully the landing gear that’s on this one will be changed to the real bush plane gear

Hans maak seker ons bly aan die werk

We have since mounted the wings installed and rigged the flaps and ailerons. The wings are closed up and into the paint booth.
The instrument panel is also finished. Now we are just finishing up the last few things for CAA inspection.
Our planning and stock for production is falling in place so soon we'll be making lots more!

She's got red wings! We have been very with the wings lately, the wings are painted and mounted again. This week we will finish off with painting the flaps and ailerons. While the paint dries we are working on the molds for some very sleek wingtips. A quick check on the scales indicates that we are right on target for 350 - 360kg empty weight.
